Does your /usr/OV/bin have an executable called nvgethost?  if so, it does 
the same kind of name resolution that NetView does -- gethostbyname and 
gethostbyaddr.  Just type  "nvgethost  <name>"  and then  "nvgethost 
<address>".  They should give you the same result.  If they don't, then 
your /etc/host file is incorrect for that name and address.

Hi,

Netview 6.2 on aix 4.3.2

I have some problems with name resolution in my Map.
All my equipments are in a host file on the server.
But some of my equipment are listed with IP address and some with the name
of the equipment (Resolution made with the hosts file.).
I wonder why every equipment is not there with the name of the equipment
....
Can someone help me troubleshoot that ?

Ben
